Monique Murray , LCPC

Monique Murray is a licensed counselor in Maine with 10 years of professional experience. She holds the LCPC credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, reflecting advanced training and state licensure to provide therapeutic care. Monique concentrates on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and manage depression, drawing on a strengths-based outlook that recognizes each person's resilience and resources.

She approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts in their own stories and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address challenges. That perspective shapes a collaborative process in which the therapist and client work together to identify goals, build practical skills, and create sustainable coping strategies. Monique acknowledges that beginning therapy often requires courage and she honors the step of seeking support.

Her practice emphasizes respectful listening, practical interventions, and support through early steps in therapy. Monique is committed to helping clients find clearer paths forward as they face life changes and emotional struggles, while validating the effort it takes to begin that work.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Monique works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. One approach helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns so they can respond to stress and anxiety with clearer, more balanced perspectives. Another set of techniques emphasizes behavioral skills - practical steps and routines that increase engagement in meaningful activities and support mood regulation. These approaches are suited to concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to addiction.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Monique partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they tailor strategies that feel workable and relevant for the client’s life. She values client input and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility by enabling sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver many evidence-based methods effectively through these modalities, helping clients access consistent support and practical tools without losing momentum in their therapeutic work.
